- Change management, conflict resolution, and process integration during the design and development of large-scale civil engineering systems.
- Construction health and safety; Project risk analysis and management.
- Solid waste management on Construction Projects.
b) Research interests (Water, Sanitation and Environmental Engineering)
- Faecal sludge management- development of effective strategies for management and disposal of feacal sludge focusing on resource recovery and pathogen inactivation, modeling of pathogen die-off in on-site sanitation facilities, faecal sludge characterization and mapping.
- Pathogen and Faecal hazards flow in urban environments.
- Resource recovery from solid wastes, faecal and sewage sludge.
- Alternatives to conventional water borne sewerage in dense urban areas
- Optimization of Human excreta and Wastewater treatment systems.
- Life cycle costing (Economic and Financial Costing) of water and sanitation programmes.
- Effectiveness of rural sanitation programmes.
- Sustainability and equity in community-wide approaches which eliminate open defecation.
- Environmental and Public health risks associated with faecal sludge management practices in communities.
